#exercise is important

I feel like I’ve been really hiatus-y lately so I want to apologize! But I have some good things happening in my life! 

Derek and I are now officially in possession of a house :D it will take a lot of work before it is livable, so I’ll be EXTRA busy in the coming months but it will be a good busy.

THAT BEING SAID (and because I’m apparently a huge masochist) I’m going to be opening commissions soon… except my definition of “soon” is… loose. I’ve been spending money like a crazy person and I need to start making up for it *sobs* once I figure out pricing I will open up a a slot or two and post pricing stuff and… whatever else.

My experiment schedule at work has been VICIOUS. Winter break is not a break for me. It means I don’t have classes so my research increases severalfold. 

BUT - I’m still working on the next few chapters of BP when I can! I’m so excited. You have no idea. I’m giddy most of the time just thinking about it. I also owe that Dr Kags extra! That’s in the works as well.

Finally, I got my own office space at work and that makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER about my life. I feel like I matter, have value, etc. I know I did before, but having something of my own just gives me so much more agency and freedom. It’s nice and I want to brag about it :D

So move for your life’s sake— You won’t regret it.

Fitness Matters: dO more, bE physical. Do you want to live a sedentary lifestyle? Do you want to feel incapable in your day to day? Do your want to want to live a desperate, stress riddled life? Do you want to feel weak, unclear, or totally hopeless? Hell no you don’t, your physical fitness matters. The way of the world. We live in a world where technology is evolving at alarming speeds.…
